Fan Hongde never imagined they would fight to this extent.
This is the Abyss of Demons!
It's not easy for the cultivators of the five sects to deal with demonic cultivators of a higher level than themselves in the Demon Abyss filled with demonic energy, not to mention that they also have an extremely powerful barrier protecting them.
But to everyone's surprise, the barrier was breached so quickly!
And within this Demon Abyss, for some unknown reason, the demonic energy has become so thin! Even the demons have vanished!
This kind of demonic abyss is not much different from the cultivation world!
They thought that here, in their world, the cultivators of the five sects would not be able to exert their advantages at all, and there was also the risk of being tainted by demonic energy and becoming demonic at any time.
But now, who can tell him what's going on?
Fan Hongde suddenly turned his gaze to Shi Xuan. It was Shi Xuan!
It must be Shi Xuan who did something! She fell into the Demon Abyss half a month early and has been wandering here ever since. According to Mingzhu, she has been suffering from the harassment of demons every day.
Now it seems that the truth is certainly not so simple.
Look at how energetic she is now, she doesn't look like she's been tormented by a demon at all!
She continued to attack Mingzhu relentlessly, each sword strike seemingly aimed at killing him!
Seeing this, Fan Hongde became even more furious. He raised his hand and condensed demonic energy into a blade, which he then charged towards Shi Xuan.
He was fighting Lin Daozi at the farthest point of this group of people, but he was two whole levels higher than Shi Xuan. At this moment, even though his attack was far away, the pressure he exerted on Shi Xuan was extremely terrifying.
However, Shi Xuan is no longer the same person he was five years ago.
Five years ago, facing Fan Hongde, who was two ranks higher than her, she was powerless to fight back and was forcibly thrown into the void.
Now, Fan Hongde is still two ranks higher than her, but it is impossible for him to defeat her with an overwhelming advantage!
Just the fact that he possessed the dragon bone reduced Shi Xuan's fear of him by half!
Faced with Fan Hongde's attack, Shi Xuan immediately dodged to the side and activated the defensive magic artifact given to him by the sect leader.
She easily neutralized an attack from a powerful cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage, only staggering a few steps without sustaining any injury!
The demonic blade grazed past Shi Xuan and struck the rock wall behind her, smashing a large chunk of the mountainside down and creating a long, resounding roar.
After this move, Shi Xuan continued fighting, while Fan Hongde was unable to fully deal with Lin Daozi because he was distracted by attacking Shi Xuan.
As soon as he unleashed a burst of demonic energy, he regained his senses, only to find Lin Daozi's sword energy already upon him.
In the chaos, Fan Hongde had no choice but to dodge hastily and had to use his defensive magic weapon.
Even so, he was still struck by Lin Daozi's sword energy and was forced to retreat repeatedly, a trickle of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.
"ah!"
Just as Fan Hongde was preoccupied with his own problems, Fan Mingzhu let out a scream on the other side as Shi Xuan's Ice Soul Sword pierced her arm.
Fan Hongde watched from afar, his anxiety growing even greater.
His battle with Lin Daozi took place far from the others, and his attention was focused on Fan Mingzhu. Taking advantage of the fact that the defensive magic artifact had not yet failed, he looked around and found that his army of demonic cultivators had been utterly defeated by the cultivators of the five sects!
"Useless!" Fan Hongde was furious. The Tu family members were simply dull-witted. He had given them so much help for nothing, but when it came to actually using them, they were so utterly incompetent!
Seeing that the tide had turned and they had no hope of victory, Fan Hongde gritted his teeth and gave the signal: "Retreat!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the few remaining demonic cultivators from the Tu family who were struggling to hold on immediately tried to escape.
At the same time, a formation suddenly lit up, enveloping everyone.
It was Lu Shenzhi, who had been barely noticeable just moments before, who unleashed this power.
He used the same array cakes that Xuan had made at the same time to create an improved version of the Rising Dragon Array.
The instantaneous formation trapped all the demonic cultivators within it.
Fan Hongde's cultivation level was too high, so such a formation was not very effective against him, but it was enough to deal with most demonic cultivators.
Moreover, Fan Hongde was worried that Fan Mingzhu was also caught up in it.
After Fan Mingzhu was injured by Shi Xuan, she immediately activated her protective magic artifact, and the time her vision went black became longer and longer.
Shi Xuan noticed that this protective artifact was activated when she had black eyes!
Given the current situation within the Demon Abyss, the demonic cultivators have no power to reverse the tide.
Among them, the Tu family head, who was in the Nascent Soul stage, had been killed by the combined forces of the five sects' high-level cultivators. The only one who could have escaped was probably Fan Hongde.
With the situation hopeless, Fan Hongde felt a deep sadness. If he managed to escape this time, he would likely have to live a life of hiding and running for some time.
and……
Fan Mingzhu's eyes were now mostly black with little red, and it looked like she was about to be possessed.
Shi Xuan's advantages over her continued to grow.
Although she was a whole level higher than Shi Xuan, their combat strength was far inferior.
Even if she herself didn't have any issues with possession, she was no match for Shi Xuan, let alone the fierce struggle between two souls in one person.
The Ice Soul Sword in Shi Xuan's hand is the nemesis of demonic energy. So far in the battle, apart from dealing with Fan Mingzhu, he has already killed as many as seven people.
Now that the other demonic cultivators are no longer a threat, he seems to have no problem dealing with Fan Mingzhu alone.
Another sword thrust out, its energy aimed directly at Fan Mingzhu's vital chest. She frantically tried to dodge, but ultimately failed to completely avoid it and was still injured by the sword energy.
Fan Mingzhu looked to be in a very bad state. Her face was pale and bluish, and there were fresh and dried bloodstains at the corners of her mouth. Her robes were tattered and torn.
She originally had some means of escape, but now that she is injured and the Rising Dragon Formation has made her unable to escape.
Shi Xuan's offensive did not diminish. She was the only one among them who became stronger with each battle. She alone cut off all the monsters and the source of the demonic roots here.
As time went by, the power within Shi Xuan's body became increasingly abundant.
At this moment, taking advantage of Fan Mingzhu's injury and seeing that she was unable to fight anymore, Shi Xuan unleashed a powerful sword strike with overwhelming force, heading straight for Fan Mingzhu.
If this sword had struck Fan Mingzhu, she would have had no chance of survival.
At this moment, Fan Mingzhu's eyes turned completely black. The possession by the Heavenly Army was at a critical juncture. His pupils contracted slightly, and he sighed in his heart, "My life is over!"
Given this opportunity, he originally planned to quickly possess Fan Mingzhu and then escape alone.
But who would have thought that Fan Mingzhu's obsession with Shi Xuan would flare up, and even when she was completely irrational, she still frantically rushed towards Shi Xuan.
He tried his best but was unable to possess her body before she went to such lengths.
Now, with the sword at his feet, he can only accept this judgment of fate.
